Might sound a bit of a stupid comment Sidney, but I think the 'speed' of the bikes may have taken some of the competitive edge off proceedings.....

I also miss the 'proper' smell, since the intro of the oil catcher?:)

A very good point indeed, i believe the old Swindon track ( long straights ) and King's Lynn ( shale) have been affected by the extra speed and unpredictability of the faster modern day machine.These two tracks were certainly up there in the top 8 tracks in yesteryear but both have regressed badly over the last few years which has badly affected there entertainment level.Swindon with it's changed track has vastly improved and we have seen some good racing there this season.King's Lynn maybe???? if it changed its shale that could help restore it back to it's  former glories,it was certainly once one of my favourite tracks to visit.
